About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Janca is a licensed professional counselor with nine years of clinical work. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices from Texas. Elizabeth decided early on to become a counselor after her own positive experiences with therapy, and she brings that same commitment to creating a respectful space for people who seek help.

She favors straightforward, client-centered conversations. Sessions focus on the person’s priorities and move at their pace.

Background and approach

Elizabeth blends practical skills with listening so people can try new ways of handling stress, anxiety, parenting questions, or changes in life. Her background includes therapy with a range of ages and settings, classroom experience as an academic counselor, and roles using play and activity-based methods. That experience informs how she adapts strategies for different needs and stages of life.

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Both approaches are mixed with a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals central.

People turn to her for help with parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, ADHD and neurodiversity, workplace stress, sleep problems, and self-esteem challenges. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled through a subscription plan that is cancellable at any time.

How Elizabeth’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and creates space for them to guide each session. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what is said so people can clarify their own goals and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse. It uses simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and managing symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep trouble.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. It can include mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation techniques useful for stress, relationship strain, and anger.

Working together, the therapist and client decide which approach fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve. Elizabeth uses these methods flexibly to match goals, preferences, and daily life demands.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text let people connect from home or on the go. These formats make scheduling easier around work, school, or caregiving. They also allow follow-up and skill practice between sessions so progress can continue outside scheduled meetings.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
